And Tomorrow it begins!

Mom was the gait keeper today! I'm sure she had her hands full! This morning Adam needed to go to the bathroom and while he was on the toliet, decided to fall off it! And bump went his head! So Mr. Schrader (notice the name change!) went down for a CT of the head, and it was ok. Thank You Lord! So after all that, Adam got moved to the fourth floor. On the rehab unit. He's now in 1420. He'll go through rehab from 8:30a-3:30p daily (Monday - Saturday). He'll do about 3 hours of rehab during that time, and will have breaks in between. Tomorrow night we'll actually get a schedule of his day. Tonight when he got to his new room, he had a whole room full of visitors for a while. The Rumsyre's visited again, and guess what...Adam Schrader is in the exact same room as was Adam Rumsyre. I think it's a Godly coincidence yet again and can only mean great things! Then again God doesn't do coincidences, so it's a God thing! It was nice to see the Rumsyres' and once again, they were able to give us all the inside scoops to the rehab floor. So thankful to have them there for our move! After everyone left, Jake, Dad and I took Adam for a walk. He did pretty well but complains of being dizzy and unsteady. He definitely walks like he's had a couple too many, but I know that with time and rehab, he'll come around. After that, even though he was beat, he wanted to take a shower, so that's what we did. Jake and Dad were in the shower helping him. He did really well, but it kicked his butt! He looked exhausted by the time he was done. Dad said after Jake and I left the nurse came in and told Adam it was bedtime, made a bed for dad and they laid down. We'll see how long they actually stayed down! Ha! So many steps he's taken and so many ahead, but for now, he's doing great and that's all we could ask for! A special thanks tonight to Nathon Sievers who has been diligently letting our dogs out and playing with them during our long days at the hospital. Also a thanks to him and his parents, Mark and Penny Sievers who have been keeping watch over the place! We appreciate it. Also a thanks to Joey and Shannon Herron for keeping an eye on things at Adam's house and getting his mail! He's very lucky to have all of you in his life, as are we! Thanks Again! (And I forgot a picture today, but tomorrow I plan on getting LOTS of him during rehab!)
